I GOT TO DO A LITTLE TREASURE HUNTING THIS WEEKEND WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO. I WAS REALLY LOOKING TO FIND SOMETHING TO PAINT; NOT THAT I REALLY NEED IT SINCE MY BASEMENT AND OUT BUILDING IS STUFFED FULL BUT WHATS A GIRL TO DO WHEN SHE FINDS THAT SPECIAL PIECE YOU JUST CANT LIVE WITH OUT!!!! I JUST LOVE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE TREASURES, THERE IS NOTHING NEW THAT CAN COMPARE TO THAT WONDERFUL ,OLD VINTAGE QUALITY AND LOOK! WHILE LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL PIECE TO PAINT I CAME ACROSS THIS LOVELY VINTAGE BOUDOIR LAMP. IT HAS LOTS OF CRYSTAL PRISMS AND A PRETTY GLASS GLOBE. IT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND YOU WONT BELIEVE IT BUT I PAID 10.00 FOR IT!!! THAT'S RIGHT 10.00 !!!!!!! IT HAS CURRENTLY TAKEN UP RESIDENCE IN MY BEDROOM ---OOOH ----- BOUDOIR!!!! I ALSO FOUND A CUTE VINTAGE WOOD SHELF. I DO PLAN ON PAINTING THE SHELF JUST NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW TO PAINT IT YET. I DONT JUST START PAINTING , IT HAS TO HIT MY BRAIN RIGHT. ANYWAY. DIDNT COME AWAY WITH TOO MUCH BUT I LOVE WHAT I GOT AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT.
